A lesson in time.
Chapter 1
The mare six had gathered outside of Twilight castle, as she had summoned for them. The call was for help, concerning a matter that requested all of them, it being a sort of rift that had opened in Twilights main hall.
’‘What is this, Twilight?’’ Rainbow dash asked whit a curios look on her face. ’’I don’t know, but it seems not to be meant to be here at all.’’ Twilight answered. They where awaiting Princess Celestia, Caidance and Luna and Discord, who had been out traveling the world, trying to find some clues if there where any of his own, the Draconequees left in the world.
Twilight had tried to use her magic on the rift, but simply felt how it drain the magic right into itself.
As the mare six tired to figure out what to do whit the rift, a voice began to whisper through the rift itself. Pinkie was the first to hear it, and gladly shouted at the rift. ’‘Hello!? Anyone there!?’’ As she did so, the whispers stopped for a second, before it began again, this time more intensive. All of the mares lisensed intensely, trying to understand what it said, but all they could hear, was gibberish. A moments later, Celestia entered the room, and gasped in shock, and roared ’‘Get away from that!’’. As Twilight and the the others looked at her, the whispers quickly stopped, before ghastly, clawed hands quickly reached out and grabbed each and everyone of them. Celestia ran against them, but it was to late, and just as Luna ran to help, but it was to late, as all the mares where pulled in, and the rift disappeared in a flash.
Chapter 2
Fluttershy was the first to wake up, looking worried around herself, seeing all her friends laying there, knocked out. ’’Wh..where are we?’’ she yelped. The all laid on a huge, fluffy red bed. She quickly looked around and saw a long, serpent bodies creature a bit away. It had the same shape as Discord, anyway what she could see. ’‘Discord? Oh thank godess your here.’’ she said whit a calm expression. It took the Draconequues to react, lifting its head. It was clean that it wasn’t discord, as its head wasn't looking like his at all. It had a pony like shape, whit pink, fluffy hair, and beautiful hair, and nice, blue eyes. Fluttershy screamed, and the Draconequees did aswell, and quickly flew away. The rest of the mare six woke up, and quickly looked around, thinking there most be something in there. It took some seconds, but they all calmed down, asking Flufftershy what was going on. ’‘Oh, it was nothing.’’ is all she said, thinking she most have seen something she though was a Draconequees.
The girls took a bit of time, trying to get the dizziness out of there heads, before they begun to look around, trying to find a way to get out of the room, but they could not find a single way out. While they where trying to find some sort of hidden door on the far side of the room, somepony suddenly spoke behind them ’‘Emhem, Ladies?’’ They heard from behind them, and all quickly turned around, looking at whoever was there. In front of them, sat a big, muscler black Unicorn, smiling towards them. His mane was long, as was his tail, both being white in colour. ’‘Sorry to startle you all of a sudden. Let me introduce myself. I am Shadow Dawn. An honour to meet you all, mare six.’’ he said politely, having a friendly smile, bowing his head towards the girls.
’‘Where are we, what is this place? Why are we here?’’ Twilight asked, her horn glowing faintly whit purple light. The steed giggles softly, in a teasing way. ’’Oh? How rude of me. I brought you all here to give you a..lesson in time so to say.’’ He tilted his head slightly whit his eyes closed, smiling at them again.
’’A lesson in time? What do you mean by that?’’ Rarity asked. ’’In time!? Sounds fun!’’ Pinkie said out loud, clapping her hoofs togheter while making a small jump into the air.
’‘Who do you think you are, that thinks he got the right to do so?’’ Applejack said out loud.
’‘Well, I am the prince of dusk and dawn, he who stands between light and darkness, and therefore,’’ He said, as two great, black wings appeared from his back. ’’ I think I got the right to ask a princess to come and ’‘visit’’, if I got some interesting information to say, that can much well concern her and all her friends.’’ He said to them, all of them in shock from seeing that he wasn't a unicorn after all, but a Alicorn, just like twilight. He was at lest as big a Celestia, but was much more muscler, and well built. He was a rely handsome pony.
He turned around, a door appearing like magic as fast he looked to the wall. ’‘Come with me.’’ he said in a friendly tone. It took a second, but Twilight begun to fallow him ’‘Stay close.’’ she said to the rests of them, as they walked through a castle halls. It took some time, but then they understood, it was Celestia’s castle, though it had a sort of, darker tone to it. ’‘Where are we exactly?’’ Rainbow asked. ’’We are in Canterlot castle, but around 50 years in the future from your timeline, miss Dash.’’ Shadow said in a smooth tone. ’‘Twilight gulped then understood what he mention earlier. ’’A lesson in time. Did me rely mean time travel?’’ she though for herself, looking around herself. ’’Oh, I forgot to mention. Celestia aren’t known as a princess here, but a queen.’’ They gasped and looked at each other. ’‘Who..who is the king then?’’ Rainbow asked. ’‘Hehe, You will see, Rainbow dear.’’ He said whit his soft, smooth tone. They fallowed him to the main hall, there on a throne, Celestia sat. She mane and tail was longer, and shines even brighter then the Celestia they know. She looked at them whit a smile, then nodded to Shadow ’‘Good work, you brought them here.’’ He smiled back to her. ’‘It’s all thanks for you and your husband, my queen.’’ She bowed his head deeply.
’‘You know much well I would prefer if this didn’t happen, Shadow Dusk, but as my queen asked me, I could not resist, could I?’’ They all turned, hearing a familiar voice. It was Discord, wearing a long, golden robe, and a majestic crown on his head.
’’Em, Discord, why are you wearing a crown?’’ Applejack said, while covering her mouth with her hoof, trying not to laugh. ’‘Mmm?’’ Discord said when hearing the statement. Shadow looked at Applejack. ’‘Discord is the King Applejack.’’ he stated. A moment of silence, before all the girls suddenly shouted ’‘Whaaaat!?’’
Chapter 3
It took a hour of explanation, but it then seemed that everything fell into place. ’’So, Discord and Celestia is married?’’ Twilight asked once again. ’‘Yes they are, and they have three fouls already.’’ He said calmly. ’‘And, who are this fouls if I may ask?’’ Rarity asked.
’‘They are Prince Heavens light, Princess Eris, and Princess Harmony.’’ Shadow sipped on some tea, seeming not annoyed at all that even after he had to answer the same questions over and over again. Twilight looked around again. ’’So, em...if this is 50 years in the future, dose that mean that something more has happened?’’ He nodded, seeming intrigued that they asked something els. ’‘Yes Indeed, alot of things honestly. First up, Luna built her very own castle, as she simply could not stand Discord marring her sister. She comes around from time to time though, ofter to visit her sister and the kids.’’ He took another sip of his tea. ’‘The Crystal empire is now known as the crystal heart empire, with Shinning armour as king, and Caidens as queen.’’
’’What about us? What have happened to us?’’ Fluttershy asked. ’‘Oh, yes I will tell you now, sorry.’’ He smiled again. ’‘You, Fluttershy became rather..depressed when Discord married Celesita. You wanted him, and therefor, got a way to get some of his blood, and drank it, transforming you into a draconequees.’’ He allowed it to sink in, before looking over at Rarity. ’‘You Rarity, fell deeply in love with spike. So much, that when you had to save him from a creature that should not be named, Your magic went over drive, and you shapeshifted into a fully grown dragon. Spike has grown alote, and you two are now known as guardiens of Equestria.’’ Rarity blinked, seeming comfused my the would thing.
Shadow looked over to Rainbow dash. ’‘Rainbow, the version of you in this timeline, she seemed to have deep feeling for Twilight, but never dared to tell her so, and when Twilight married someone els, you where heart broken.’’ He looked over to Applejack. ’‘Thankfully, Applejack was there for you, and you two ended up becoming lovers.’’ Rainbow dash’s face turned to a tomato, blushing like mad. Twilight and Applejack both gave her a look, and she just shook her head. ’‘That, thats THIS Rainbow dash, not me!’’ She almost screamed. Shadow dusk just smiled gently, sipping some more tea before he looked to Pinkie pie. ’‘You, Pinkie on the other hand. As you always smiled, you began to devote yourself to help changelings, trying to make them happy and who knew, you succeded. A small group of changelings now can produce there own happiness, and doesn't need to feed of it from others.’’ Pinkie smiled, seeming over joyed that she was so helpful. As Shadow looked to Twilight, his face turned serious, his gentle smile turned to a very serious line, and his eyes looked like they harden from a very joyful look, to something made or crystals. ’‘Twilight, You did something nopony ever expected. Something nopony would even consider that you would do.’’ He shook his head lightly, looking into her eyes. Twilight gulped, and simply said. ’‘What did I do?’’
He shook his head again. ’‘You remember Sombra, right? ’’ He asked them. All of them simply nodded, looking a bit confused. ’‘You, Twilight sparkle, was on his hit list, and they say he tried to kill you at first ,but as you fought, he surrendered to you, telling you he no longer could even consider raising his magic against you. From that moment, he became loyal towards you, and almost became like a lap dog. He asked you to help him become a good pony, to be able to leave the dark magic behind for good, and thereby, at lest have a chance to get forgiven for his actions.’’ He sighned, and quickly swooped the last of the tea.
-:What happened the next months after that, nopony knows, but after that time, you and Sombra disappeared, only to reapear five years later, both wearing dark armour, whit green eyes, standing next to each other while being dragged by two dark ponies in a cart made of black and purple crystals, Now King and Queen of a new kindom, to the boared of Equestria.’’ As he finished, Twilight looked at him in shook, unable to move at all.
-:Me, and Sombra, married?
Shadow simply nodded to her.
’‘You have a child as well, a young foul named Orion, and as of now, you await another one.’’
They sudenly heared a horn in the distance, a dark, chilling sound. ''Talking about Sombra, seems like He and this times Twilight is comming to visit.'' He said with a calm expression.
